Abstract
Microcrystalline LiNiPO4 powders have been prepared by solid-state reaction using various precursors. Characterization of the structure and morphology of powders was performed using XRD, SEM, HRTEM, Raman, and FTIR. The electronic properties of materials were investigated by SQUID and ESR. The LiNiPO4 material adopts the olivine-like structure (Pnma S.G.). Analysis of the Raman and FTIR spectra figures out, with the aid of a molecular vibration model, the bonding between NiO6 octahedral and (PO4)3− tetrahedral groups. The electronic configuration and the local cationic arrangement are confirmed by magnetic susceptibility and electron spin resonance spectroscopy.
